Dominated by Carménère with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in support, it delivers a deep, dark profile of blackberry, plum, sweet spice, and sandalwood, lifted by hints of lavender and fresh herbs. The palate is plush and concentrated yet notably elegant in this vintage, showing polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, harmonious finish shaped by 24 months in mostly new French oak. It’s a modern Chilean icon—bold, refined, and built for both early pleasure and long-term cellaring.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"blurb-about\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"blurb-about\"\u003eScore\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"blurb-about\"\u003e100 points, James Suckling.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Winebow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45634776826113,"sku":null,"price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/0329\/0113\/files\/Lapostolle-ValledeColchaguaClosApalta2020_d0859490-c4d4-43ec-8e4e-a9b9ecad9f6a.jpg?v=1758112252"},{"product_id":"montes-2020-purple-angel-red-blend","title":"Montes 2021 Purple Angel Red Blend","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003clabel class=\"offering-page-subsection2-label\"\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/label\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurple Angel comes from Montes' Finca Apalta Estate vineyard with some additions from their Marchigüe Estate vineyard.
